Plot[]
Robert is still reeling from Andy’s outburst and realises that his own brother may well be homophobic. Andy is defensive insisting he only joined in their taunts to shut them up – but Robert is not so sure, worried there‘s a deeper issue. When Donna gets wind of their gossip about Stephen’s sexuality it all seems to fall into place. She is convinced it is the reason why he wouldn’t sleep with her. To make matters worse, Donna decides to confront him over the rumours - determined to repair her bruised ego at Stephen's expense. Stephen is disappointed with Andy for not sticking by him and their friendship is on edge. To add more to the disruption, Katie walks out on an Andy for being so misunderstanding and ignorant with Stephen. Trouble is brewing at the B&B as Mr Tashiro goes on the warpath, gunning for Sam. Tomiko came home very late last night and has been locked in her room ever since. Having been warned to stay away from her, Sam is saddened at the prospect of never seeing his first love again. Tomiko, meanwhile, won’t be shifted and her father is becoming increasingly worried. Lisa stands her ground when Mr Tashiro gets heated with Sam sending Mr Tashiro shell-shocked and earning out-of-nowhere respect for Lisa. Sam manages to talk Tomiko out of his room and is devastated when she leaves, but when Eric pops round with bonsai tree that Tomiko left him, he's touched. Ollie is still struggling to get her revision done, but this time it's not Danny that is getting in the way - but Len who's been fussed over by his friends!
